Been playing the new version of the classic X-COM. Such a disappointment.

Really? I haven't played it yet, but I've mostly heard good things.
What don't you like about it?

Then there's the soldier loadouts, very limited choices. The strategic game is even more limited. I could go on, but I wont.

OK, I will. Got toward the end of the game it became increasingly unstable with several ctds. And then there's the end mission, dull to say the least. The alien commander seems to be explaining what it was all about but it doesn't make the least sence. If you can get past the graphics, the original game is so much more satisfying.

Try this fan made remake, it is the most like the original Xcom. As it is it is an early beta for $19.99 so expect improvemnets along the way. Not all the art is even in yet. Price goes up to $24.99 when it is finished. http://store.steampowered.com/app/223830/ Xenonauts http://www.xenonauts.com/
